Lyrics

w.a.m.s.

[Verse 1]

I'm a young one stuck in the thoughts

Of an old one's head

When all the others were just stirrin' awake

I'm tryin' to trick myself to fall asleep again, whoa

[Pre-Chorus]

My head's in Heaven, my soles are in Hell

Well, let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well

[Chorus]

Hurry, hurry

You put my head in such a flurry, flurry

Oh, freckle, freckle, what makes you so special?

Oh, what makes you so special?

I'm gonna leave you

Oh, I'm gonna teach you

How we're all alone

How we're all alone, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Guild me, build me, it's your club, so

Let me in (Let me in)

Knowing how heartwarming it is inside

Your skin

[Pre-Chorus]

My head's in Heaven, my soles are in Hell

Well, let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well

[Chorus]

Hurry, hurry

You put my head in such a flurry, flurry

Oh, freckle, freckle, what makes you so special?

Oh, what makes you so special?

I'm gonna leave you

Oh, I'm gonna teach you

How we're all alone

How we're all alone, oh, oh

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Hurry, hurry

You put my head in such a flurry, flurry

Oh, freckle, freckle, what makes you so special?

Oh, what makes you so special?

I'm gonna leave you

Oh, I'm gonna teach you

How we're all alone

How we're all alone, oh, oh

[Outro]

Mmmmm

Mama, if we don't take the medication

We won't sleep for days, we won't sleep for days

And Mama, if we pray to the Lord, oh

Does he sing on a stage? Does he sing on a stage?

We waste it all in the back of a long dark car

And I'm a sunshine machine

Uh, I want to get stuck, I want to get stuck

And be golden in your memory, oh, mmm, mmm, oh, oh
